My daughter and I love to try new foods and especially different coffees. Esther was a lovely host and her food was amazing. My daughter and shared a sample platter and enjoyed a coffee after our meal. I plan on returning and sharing this little place with other family members.

We absolutely love this place. Ethiopian food being one of our favorites to begin with and the food here is the best Weve had in Ohio. It may look unassuming but dont be fooled.

We were looking for a late dinner on this restaurant had great reviews. It was only us and one other person, the owner was super nice. I told him what we were looking for, and he made some of the most delicious Ethiopian food I have ever tasted! I hardly recommend the chickpea paste and the lamb in the butter sauce. Amazing! The injara is perfect. Sour and perfectly balanced with the food. Everything was hot and you could tell it was fresh and homemade. Amazing.

Enjoyed an amazing meal with my coworkers. It was a lovely experience. The food is incredible and the owner is very warm and welcoming. We had the combination platter. There was nothing I did not like. I tried new foods and am very glad I did. I cannot express how wonderful the food is and the welcoming environment.

This is a super cute, intimate shop. My friend and I came here to catch up. The service was amazing and the owner is very nice. I ordered the Latte(2) and the Tibs(12.99). Everything was delicious! It was my first time having Ethiopian food and I think I am hooked! I will definitely be back :)
